Christians are by their nature a people out of place. Their true home is with God; in civic life, they are alien citizens
“in but not of the world.” In American Babylon, eminent theologian Richard John Neuhaus examines the particular truth of that
ambiguity for Catholics in America today. Neuhaus addresses the essential quandaries of Catholic life—assessing how Catholics
can keep their heads above water in the sea of immorality that confronts them in the world, how they can be patriotic even
though their true country is not in this world, and how they might reconcile their duties as citizens with their commitment
to God. Deeply learned, frequently combative, and always eloquent, American Babylon is Neuhaus’s magnum opus—and will be essential
reading for all Christians

Taking a look at today's Church and religious situation, Neuhaus argues that there is a necessary awkwardness about Christian
ministry because we are ambassadors of a "disputed sovereignty". Neuhaus also discusses the minister as leader of worship
and the art, discipline, and "absurd responsibility" of being a preacher

For too long, Neuhaus argues, Christianity has had nothing to say to Wall Street or to Main Street. Drawing on the writings
of Pope John Paul II, Neuhaus has written a spirituality of economic enterprise meant for the businessman and the intellectual
alike

"Partly autobiographical, slightly polemical, and thoroughly challenging, America Against Itself is an in-depth, multifaceted
analysis of the pervasive cultural warfare that threatens to undermine the American social structure. Richard John Neuhaus,
author of The Naked Public Square, employs a large measure of social criticism, moral philosophy, and religious reflection
in analyzing this contemporary Kulturkampf. He addresses the limits and imperatives of politics as well as religion's role
in defining our common culture. Among the subjects tackled are the abortion debate, the urban underclass, and the nature of
altruism in a world that rewards uncaring. In addition, Neuhaus reflects on his role in "The Movement" of the 1960s, and how,
despite its idealistic intentions, it went so wildly wrong." "America Against Itself is not a prolonged lamentation against
the prevailing moral and intellectual decline that seems characteristic of the contemporary era. Instead, Neuhaus presents
a careful and sympathetic analysis of why we have turned against the highest ideals of the American experiment, and issues
a bracing call to turn anew to the challenging vision of "a new order for the ages."" "This book is a disturbing, but ultimately
hopeful, testament from one of America's foremost public intellectuals, whose passage through three tumultuous decades proves
a valuable qualification for probing the complex issue of conflicting moralities struggling to exist in a representative democracy."--Jacket

"Numerous writers and composers have been captivated by the suggestiveness of Jesus' Seven Last Words. But Richard John Neuhaus's
sustained exploration of these utterances is something altogether different. Through them he plumbs the depths of human experience
and sets forth the central narrative of Western civilization-the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ-in a way that
engages the attention of believers, unbelievers, and those who are not sure what they believe. Death on a Friday Afternoon
is an invitation to the reader into a spiritual and intellectual exploration of the dark side of human experience with the
promise of light and life on the far side of darkness." -- from publisher's website

"Drawing upon a vast range of human experience and reflection, The Eternal Pity: Reflections on Dying demonstrates how people
try to cope with the inevitability of death. Different cultures, informed by religious beliefs and sometimes desperate hope,
teach people to respond to their own death and the deaths of others in modes as various as defiance, stoic resignation, and
unbridled grief. In addition to examples from literature, poetry, and religious texts, Father Richard John Neuhaus provides
an intensely personal account of his encounter with death through emergency cancer surgery and reflects on how that encounter
has changed the way he lives."--Jacket

"Dialogue" is one of American religion's shopworn terms. Although there is much talk about dialogue, very little of it actually
takes place. Religious discourse -- especially about politics and public affairs -- is increasingly polarized; there is much
contestation, but little conversation. If truths are to be tested, however, there is no substitute for dialogue. Arising out
of conferences sponsored by the Center on Religion & Society in New York City, the Encounter Series presents the dialogue
of a diverse group of theologians, ethicists, philosophers, and public policy experts from across the political and religious
spectrum. - Back cover
